The National Identification Authority (NIA) has opened additional registration centers for the Ghana Card registration.
The centers will be at the Accra Sports Stadium, El-Wak Sports Stadium, Kumasi Sports Stadium, the Ghana National Fire Service Regional Office in Cape Coast and the Tamale Sports Stadium.
They will be opened for the public in the ongoing registration process from Monday, February 21, 2022 and Tuesday, March 31 and will operate from 8:00 am to 5:00 each week day, according to a release by the acting Head of Corporate Affairs of the NIA, Abudu Abdul-Ganiyu.
“Apart from the El-wak Sports Stadium, which will operate as a Premium Center, registration at all the other locations is free,” NIA announced.
The statement added that, the NIA will operate alongside NIA’s 276 District and 16 Regional offices across the country.
“This intervention has been instituted in response to growing numbers of Ghanaians thronging NIA’s offices nationwide to register for the Ghana Card, particularly, as the deadline for Sim-Card re-registration approaches.
“Persons who have already registered but have not received their cards are to contact their respective district offices to be issued with their cards and should not attempt to register again as this constitutes an offence punishable by law,” the statement explained.
The statement also served notice to the general public that household and institutional registrations remain open.
“All applicants are expected to come along with their residence’s Ghana Post Digital Address as this is also a mandatory requirement,” it added.
